NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Two dozen federal agents outfitted with side arms and bulletproof vests strode past a display of electric guitars signed by Joan Jett and Slash of Guns 'N' Roses and quickly seized control of this cavernous guitar factory. Some workers were caught sanding guitar bodies. Others held newly painted guitars between their bellies and cloth-covered wax wheels, gently swaying and pushing as they buffed the instrument in some kind of tuneless dance.
While in an interview with Time Magazine, she maintains that "NAFTA was inherited by the [Hillary Clinton] administration." She does acknowledge in her Bloomsberg interview that NAFTA was "pushed through Congress by the Clinton administration," as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. However, be it at Davos or in other settings, candidate Clinton made it clear that she had no problem with NAFTA. An important aspect of NAFTA is that 1994 was not the beginning of the free market system. The maquila system was initiated years before NAFTA came into effect and it may be useful to investigate its record of success (there were also failures) as opposed to NAFTA's. Additional areas of interest are whether the maquila had a relatively better record at job creation than NAFTA, and whether it...
It's not every scholar who can link Johnny Depp, Clara Bow and the second Duke of Buckingham, but then Joseph Roach is no ordinary academician. Rather, Roach is a student of the abnormally interesting. He's steeped in the essence of celebrity, from centuries-old effigies of British royals to today's viral videos of embarrassed actresses.
The proceeds from the Overture appearance will benefit a fund to replace the shelter at Tenney Park. I guess you'd call it a coincidence that [Garrison Keillor] describes his brother's life in an interview with [David Medaris]. The fact is, Medaris is all over Isthmus this week. He also wrote the arts feature, "Funding Creativity," a look at the work of the city's and county's culture administrators. That's the third Medaris byline in this edition. We should perhaps give the guy a rest or revisit our scheduling.
The community circled its wagons around King Drew Medical Center because we felt that the institution stood as a symbol of our competence as a people. When it came under attack, we felt like we were under attack, so naturally, our first reaction was to come to its defense. But the fact is, while King Drew provides a convenient symbol to point to for bragging rights when times are good, in reality, it never did represent who we are as a people, during good times or bad. Although the King Drew Medical Center carries an illustrious name and is located in the Black community, it's simply an institution, and therefore, a microcosm of the world at laige. It's made up of a combination of people-competent, and incompetent, caring, and uncaring-just like any White run institution. Also like any ...
... tragedies that have taken place there have caused you to reassess your position, and you've come to ... convert the Kind Drew fiasco into a cause celebre to rally the entire Black community behind a new m...
NEW YORK - Always antic and occasionally comic, the maneuverings for what once mattered greatly, this state's governorship, refute the state's motto, "Excelsior." That means "ever upward," which does not describe the trajectory of the state that soon will cease being the most populous east of the Mississippi. Gov. George Pataki is not seeking a fourth term. Polls showed him being trounced by the probable - but not certain; read on - Democratic nominee, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. Pataki, who favors gun control, gay rights and abortion rights, is nevertheless evincing interest in the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. He recently genuflected to an Iowa god, calling for ethanol to be made in New York and available tax-free at service stations. Ethanol is made from agricultu...
A political feud in the tiny western Arizona town of Quartzsite that captured national headlines has been years in the making, with accusations flying between the mayor and town council and the second recall election of the year on the horizon. Mayor Ed Foster is publicly accusing members of the Quartzsite Common Council, along with Town Manager Alex Taft and Police Chief Jeff Gilbert, of rampant corruption. Foster accuses town officials of cutting mysterious paychecks to non-employees, denying him access to records that would prove it and wantonly ignoring Arizona's open meetings laws. His allegations, along with the June arrest of one of his political allies during a Common Council meeting, have become a tea party cause celebre and garnered national media attention. Foster delivered a...
SAN FRANCISCO - No one paid much attention to Stanley Tookie Williams when he was on trial in 1981 for murdering four people. Now, as the clock ticks down on his scheduled execution early Tuesday, the co-founder of the notorious Crips gang is known worldwide. An author of anti-gang books for kids and the subject of an award-winning movie, he has become a cause celebre for death penalty opponents.
PERUGIA, Italy - Amanda Knox left prison Monday as a free woman for the first time in four years after an Italian appeals court threw out the American's murder conviction for the stabbing death of her British roommate after a drug-fueled sexual assault. Knox, 24, collapsed in tears after the verdict was read, a stunning reversal in a sensational saga that became a cause celebre in the U.S.
